[I posted this last night, but thought I would share it at a higher traffic hour since it seems like something Jalops would find interesting.] !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , the town that “all lives in one building,” including some things about the one-lane tunnel they use to get back and forth to the town. It changes direction every hour on the hour so it can be used for traffic traveling both ways. Looks like a pretty crazy drive to experience! Some people reportedly get very claustrophobic in the tunnel. Maybe it would make a nice front page piece for Jalopnik to write up.

I want to drive through that tunnel with my MR2 in a low gear so I can hear all of the crazy reverbs.

That’s awesome. I would like to live there for a year or so just to see how it feels.

I have not heard of that channel. It’s good to know that when ( not if!) the Zombie Apocalypse happens, we’re all going to be living in Whittier.

Also, I’m pretty sure I heard that old guy say “ cluster phobia” lol, which kind of could make sense to somebody, if you think of it like a fear of being all clustered up.
